 ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - A mere two games into his coaching career at Notre Dame, Charlie Weis has joined Knute Rockne in the record books — and has his team playing like the Fighting Irish of old. Brady Quinn threw two touchdown passes in the first half and the 20th-ranked Fighting Irish held on to beat No. 3 Michigan 17-10 Saturday, making Weis the first Notre Dame coach to win his first two games on the road since Rockne in 1918.
Notre Dame (2-0), which won at then-No. 23 Pittsburgh last week, snapped the Wolverines' 16-game winning streak at Michigan Stadium and handed them their first loss against a nonconference team at home since 1998. The Irish — two years removed from losing 38-0 in Ann Arbor — also won at Michigan for the first time since 1993.
Michigan (1-1) squandered several chances in the fourth quarter to pull within a touchdown before finally capitalizing on their third opportunity.
